Best Time to Visit
Experience Nepal's peak beauty from October to November.
The best time to visit Nepal is from October through November when the skies are clear and the weather pleasant for outdoor activities. Being peak season, accommodation prices are higher than other times of the year. Popular areas like Kathmandu and Pokhara tend to attract large crowds during this time.
The off-season is between June and August, when heavy rains can be expected. But the monsoon showers bathing the landscape produce a unique allure, which visitors are able to enjoy, perhaps more intimately given the smaller tourist crowds.
The popular seasons for trekking are March to May and October to November. In the spring, the weather is mild and the rhododendrons are in full bloom, making outdoor sojourns more visually gratifying. Migratory birds arriving in the spring attract bird watchers.
Autumn days are warm and nights cool. The clear skies provide beautiful views of the Himalayas. The trails take on a new life and create an energetic atmosphere. Autumn festivals like Dashain allow visitors to soak in the local culture alongside trekking expeditions.
